I'm looking forward to becoming a part of the community here.
I'm currently fishing Nebimonites until 27. Any suggestions for a good skill fish after that?
Preferrably one that will provide a little gil as well.  BLM/66 WHM/38 BST/32 PUP/25 SMN/18 WAR/18 THF/18 MNK/10 RDM/7

I don't think we're going to match titanictus or Marissa's for fishing discussion here, but Icemage and the indomitable Jei are frequent posters, so we can probably field any questions you have. ^^
Personally I did Ogre Eels for a while after Nebimonite, but that was before you had to fight the fish. Now you can probably skip straight to Shall Shells for money and skillups. They're really easy to pull in. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 05-05-2006, 12:17 AM | #4 (permalink) | | Digital Wizard Super Moderator Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: Florida, USA Posts: 5,987 Style: Light - Version 6 My Mood:  Thanks: 69

EDIT: As far as gil fish, you could try fishing for Cone Calamary. They're somewhat lower level than Shall Shell, somewhat more active on the rod, but also not in an area that's full of junk items, and they're somewhere in the mid-40s range. Another possibility if you have a LOT of inventory space is Gugru Tuna. It sells fairly well, but is a large and unstackable fish, but caps at level 41.
Personally, I fished for Dark Bass (33) / Giant Catfish (31) / Red Terrapin (53) in La Theine Plateau's small pond around L-10. You can probably use a Halcyon and Frog Lure if you'd like to try that (but be warned you won't make much money at it).
If you haven't got your Lu Shang's yet, another option is to just fish for Moat Carp and Sandfish (51) using Insect Paste in Rabao.

There are tons of new fish and once the appropriate levels are found out I think there will be some great options for the 'skilling gaps' of old.
Oh and /wave to Jei too!

I feel rude now for not even acknowledging OP.

I took 6 months off of FFXI and have been playing sparingly for the past two weeks (couple hours every other night or so). The expansion is fun, but I just don't have the time to invest at the moment...

I'm a fellow fisher as well and wanted to say hi to you all! I guess the recent IGE/Alla fiasco has made this place a busy hub of activity.
Anyway, I left Alla as a forum resource and joined FFXIOnline permanently, and I couldn't resist coming over to say a big Hello! to my fellow fisherman in the fishing section. :D
And of course, it's very cozy to see Ice and Jei and Glucian and others here (I'm sure there's more I haven't seen yet). | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 05-11-2006, 11:43 AM | #10 (permalink) | | Junior Member Join Date: May 2006 Posts: 34 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 0
Thanked 1 Time in 1 Post Gil: 323 Bank: 0 Total Gil: 323 Donate | Re: Hello fellow Fishermen. After Nebs, I stayed on the ferry and switched to using minnows/sinking minnows and went after cone calamary. While they cap out pretty high, a friend of mine with fishing skill of 9 has been bringing them in quite easy and you will get noble ladies and blues mixed in. All sell pretty well on my server, though I used the calamary to skill cooking by making sushi.
I did do some eel fishing to turn in for the inside the belly quest and I'll mix shall shells in for a change of scenery, but the noble/blue/calamary trifecta has been keeping me going for awhile and has always provided a nice profit. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 05-11-2006, 11:47 AM | #11 (permalink) | | Junior Member Administrator Join Date: Dec 2003 Posts: 4,881 Style: Light - Version 6 Thanks: 224

Halcyon+Minnow on the ferry for those three fish can keep you in the money and skillups up through the 60s. | | | ::Quote Selected:: | | | 05-11-2006, 11:55 AM | #12 (permalink) | | J...atatouille Super Moderator Join Date: Dec 2002 Posts: 8,338 Style: Light - Version 5 My Mood: Thanks: 5
